Exercise-induced hematuria exacerbated by improper hydration, low RBC MCV and dapagliflozin use - 12/10/23
, Jacek Sein Anand a, cAbstract |
Background |
Dapagliflozin is a reversible, highly potent, and selective Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitor indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is generally well tolerated, with a low risk of hypoglycaemia and diabetic ketoacidosis.
Case presentation |
We report a new adverse effect of dapagliflozin in a form of a transient hematuria, presenting in a 54-years-old male patient with type 2 diabetes after exercise and insufficient hydration. The process of hematuria in the patient is strongly linked with initial period of treatment.
Conclusion |
Dapagliflozin appears to have a rare adverse effect in the form of transient hematuria. Exercise, insufficient hydration, and low RBC MCV may play a role in such episodes.

• | Dapagliflozin is a relatively new medication used to treat diabetes. |
• | Although dapagliflozin mechanism of action is through increased glucosuria, it is generally considered nephroprotective. |
• | The reported case involves a male patient with type 2 diabetes who experienced hematuria after exercise and insufficient hydration while on dapagliflozin treatment. |
• | The hematuria episodes subsided within 6 h after rest and proper hydration, and did not reappear during subsequent intensive exercise. |
• | The mechanism behind dapagliflozin-induced hematuria is currently unknown, but it may be linked to the initial period of treatment. |
